10 Random Thoughts

1.  I love "60 Minutes".  I record it every week.
2.  Springtime and wind should not be allowed to mingle.
3.  I love my church ward (congregation for those that don't speak LDS lingo).   It's a very nice ward and I smile when I think about all of the good people.   We are extremely blessed.
4.  I love coconut shaved ice.
5.  I love my house.  We've had rocky relationships sometimes, but we've worked through them.  And, I think we might be together for a very long time to come.
6.  I love summer.  Today, my kids finish their school year and I get to see them much more.  That is the best part of summer.
7.  I love my friends.  Thank you all for being so good to an imperfect person like me.  I learn so much from each of you.
8.  I think every home should have at least two washers and two dryers.
9.  I love the colors red and yellow. In general, I love color.  The more, the merrier.
10.  I love flat shoes.  I wouldn't say I despise heels, but I have a special place in my heart for flats.

Pagosa

or, in other words....pretty close to heaven.  Wow, is it beautiful there.  We spent a long weekend soaking in the mountain air....and we didn't want to come home.
When your vacation starts with reading this sign, you know it's going to be a good one.
 THE LAKE


THE HIKE TO THE WATERFALL








D watching his children playing "DAMN IT" which is building damns in the streams, then letting them go.  Upon arrival to the trail head, E saw a bunch of streams and yelled, "Damn it, Damn it."  


 THE GEESE 
(or maybe they are ducks...I just don't know)

The boys kept bothering two geese...one was sitting on her eggs, the other was protecting his goose wife...the kids were so scared of the angry gander...here's a video clip of them running away.

 FISHING
This family of boys loves to fish, especially D, G and E!



 


HOT SPRINGS

The Hot Springs sit right on the San Juan River....it's so fun! And warm...



THE ALMOST FULL MOON, 
RISING AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME



The two people I spend the most time with....







I'm one lucky person.

Mom's Day: 2011

Making the decision to have a child - It's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
- Elizabeth Stone







Just for fun!
